Implication

Scoping review demonstrates the effectiveness of HIV index testing in increasing diagnosis rates among partners and children, suggesting enhanced care linkages.

Key Points

Index case testing improves hiv diagnosis rates among partners by up to 51% and children by about 5%.
Studies from various countries like Zimbabwe and Nigeria, including up to 38,000 participants, underpin these findings.
This scoping review assessed studies published between 2010 and 2024 to evaluate the approach's effectiveness.
These findings highlight the potential of index testing to reach at-risk populations, with further research needed for implementation strategies.
